Step 1

What is Habit Nova?

Habit Nova is the fastest way to build habits. Instead of opening an app, finding your habit, and pressing buttons — you just tap a physical NFC tag. Done in under 2 seconds.

Physical NFC Tags

Place tags around your home, gym, or office. Each one is linked to a habit. Tap your phone → habit logged.

Powerful Dashboard

Track streaks, view heatmaps, use productivity widgets, and get AI-powered coaching — all in one place.

30-Day Challenges

Join pre-built challenges or create your own. Pair them with widgets like Pomodoro or Journal, link NFC tags, and stay accountable with friends.

Insights & Analytics

Source breakdowns (NFC vs Web vs Manual), NFC activity sparklines, heatmaps, completion rates, and trend analysis.

Step 2

NFC Tags — Tap to Log

Place physical NFC tags around your space. Tap your phone to instantly log a habit — no app to open, no buttons to press.

1

Place Your Tag

Stick an NFC tag on your water bottle, gym bag, nightstand, bathroom mirror — anywhere tied to a habit.

2

Tap Your Phone

Hold the back of your phone against the tag. Your phone reads it instantly — no app needs to be open.

3

Habit Logged

A confirmation screen pops up showing your streak, completion time, and any linked widgets. Done in under 2 seconds.

The Tap Experience

When you tap an NFC tag, your phone automatically opens the Habit Nova confirmation page. If you're logged in, the habit is recorded instantly. You'll see your current streak, a satisfying check animation, and any linked productivity widget (timer, journal, etc.).

Tags work with any modern smartphone — iPhone (XS and newer) and most Android phones. No special app install needed for the initial tap.

NFC Tag Management

From your dashboard, you can create, edit, share, and manage all your NFC tags in one place.

Create & Link Tags

Assign any habit to a tag. Add a custom label, link a widget, or attach it to a 30-day challenge.

Share Tags

Share a tag with family or accountability partners. They can log habits on the same tag with their own account.

QR Code Fallback

Every tag also generates a QR code you can print or screenshot — great for older phones without NFC.

Habit Confirmation Screen

After each tap, a clean confirmation screen shows your streak, progress, and a motivational boost.

Write to Physical Tags

Use Web NFC (Android Chrome) to write your habit URL directly onto a blank NFC sticker.

Pro Kit

Pro subscribers get a free NFC starter kit shipped to their door — pre-programmed and ready to use.

Step 4

Habit Tracking

Create habits, log completions, build streaks, join challenges, and follow plans. Here's everything the habits system can do.

Give your habit a name, choose a goal type (build or break), set a frequency (daily, weekly, or custom), and define a target with units — like "8 glasses" of water or "30 minutes" of reading.

Goal Types: Build (positive) or Break (quit)
Frequency: Daily, Weekly, or Custom
Counter: Set target value + unit (e.g. 8 glasses)
Categories: Health, Productivity, Fitness, Custom...
Widget Pairing: Link a Pomodoro, Timer, Journal, etc.
Desktop

Counter Input: +/- buttons for numeric goals
Source Tracking: Manual, NFC, or Fitbit / Strava auto-sync
Undo Support: Toast with undo timer on every action
